I spent the night in the UK's biggest National Park with both stargazing and Northern Light spotting
AS I gaze upwards, my eyes are greeted by dozens of brilliant white stars glittering across the deep blue midnight sky. Welcome to 4 Explore the Cairngorms National Park Credit: Getty 4 Make a luxury self-catering bothy — a Scottish hut — home for a few days Credit: Supplied My mum and I had escaped to the Highlands for a weekend break to immerse ourselves in nature — and with a sky like this on our doorstep, it wasn't hard to do. That's the real standout of a holiday home at And a luxury self-catering bothy — a Scottish hut — was my home for the next few days. As well as a cosy interior, it featured a large decking area so we could soak up the sky at all hours. Read More on Travel When I checked in, staff member Sarah told me to look north if I wanted to see Sadly they didn't make an appearance that night, but during the winter months, you're more likely to see them than not in these parts. Luckily, any disappointment was eased by the roaring log burner and plump sofa, which were beckoning from within our cosy retreat. While a bothy is typically a very basic shelter used by outdoor enthusiasts, the bothies here are a little fancier. Most read in Family From the outside, our two-person bothy looked a little like Hagrid's Hut in the Inside, however, it was kitted out with tartan furnishings and a snug bedroom, which had just enough space for a double bed. Martin Lewis warns about strict passport rule that could see you board your flight - only to get sent home on arrival When you're not getting cosy by the fire or soaking up the endless stars, there's plenty else to get stuck into in the surrounding area. Hiking is hugely popular, with If you're not much of a rambler, head to the Victorian village of Ballater, a short drive away, which is filled with boutique shops. Ballater is also home to the Old Royal Station, once used by visitors to Queen Victoria While the station closed to passengers in 1966, it has acted as a hub for tourism in the years since. Inside you'll find a tourist information centre, a tea room that would not look out of place in an After glimpsing royal life, we drove the ten minutes to Balmoral Castle where we could soak up even more of the royals. The castle wasn't open to the public when we were there, so Mum and I enjoyed a leisurely walk around the majestic lawns. With no sign of any royals, we felt like we had the whole grounds to ourselves. When it comes to filling your belly, this region isn't short of pubs serving slap-up Scottish food. 4 Ballater is fit for a queen Credit: Getty 4 The Sun's Hope Brotherton at Balmoral Castle Credit: Supplied Farquharsons Bar and Kitchen in nearby Braemar was one of our favourite evening spots, with a roaring fire at its centre and quaint garden out the back. Expect hearty plates of bangers and mash, which we washed down with a pint of Tennent's, a local lager made with Scottish barley and water from Loch Katrine. For something a little lighter, The Bothy tea room back in the village of Ballater serves proper sarnies crammed with meat as well as jacket spuds and some of the most delicate homebaked cakes I've ever seen.

Worth the hype? Ember Locke's hip London aparthotel sizzles with character – and gives you the chance of a lie-in
Locke aparthotels have gone from strength to strength since launching in London in 2016. They tap into a burgeoning home-from-home trend that allows visitors the freedom to faff in the privacy of their own fancy self-catering, serviced flat – so you don't have to rush down to a communal breakfast if you're aching for a lie-in. The brand made its Irish debut in 2020 with Zanzibar Locke, followed by Beckett Locke in 2021, both in Dublin. Instagram and millennial- friendly, Locke has received a glowing word of mouth for its communal caffeine and cocktail areas – ideal for digital nomads and brainstorming sessions, as well as for good old-fashioned people-watching. Imposter syndrome? If I'd worried I might be too old, at 48, for such a hip-spot, I was gladly mistaken. On arrival at Ember Locke in Kensington, we met a stylish white-haired Australian lady, probably in her 60s, struggling to lug her luggage up the external stairs. My friend and I gave her a hand into the yellow and pink lobby (bold colours, plush curtains, blonde wood coffee-bar area) of which Dorothy and Don Draper would surely approve. This leads to a brighter, orangery vibe at the back, a maximalist bar and various co-working and leisure seating in between. Weekly activities were listed above the elevator (Boxfit, yoga), and outside, my bird-nerd heart soared at the nesting boxes and bug hotels in a garden of mature trees, and appreciated the tented gazebo for curated outdoor 'happenings' and casual lollings. I'll fit right into this Victorian-era mansion block, I thought. And so I did. Suite dreams – or stuff of nightmares? When I was 21, I stayed in a hostel in New York City – where, in lieu of a knife, my pal and I used a Virgin Atlantic shoehorn (weirdly included in our complimentary inflight kit) to spread peanut butter on to a bagel. No such improvisation required in my top-floor one-bed open-plan suite. ADVERTISEMENT Learn more Ember Locke's ergonomic kitchenettes are stocked with crockery, cutlery, glassware, exceedingly tasty/bougie teabags, high-end white goods, and Ecover detergent. There was also an ironing board and iron cunningly tucked into the back of a lozenge-shaped full-size mirror. The stylishly curvaceous clothing rail proved a nuisance though, allowing only a handful of coat-hangered tops before each one fell off. (Can hotels please bring back wardrobes with doors? Utilitarian chic has its place, but sometimes going back into the actual closet is a good thing.) But, oh, what a wonderful colour scheme. The ruddy embrace of terracotta, blush, orange and mustard tones, with forest-green kitchen units and fringed lampshades were a welcome change to the 50 shades of greige of so many 'contemporary' hotels. The cute dual-aspect, steep-roof nook was inset with a very comfortable king-size bed, and a graphic-print bedspread complemented a patterned feature wall. My friend's eight-year-old was equally smitten with her added single bed on to which morning sunshine streamed through the skylight, while the aforementioned teabags were ceremoniously steeping. The room's warm hues were in stark contrast to the nippy air-conditioning and mostly tepid water in the bathroom. I notified front desk who sent a plumber, but there was no improvement. Perhaps I should've just jumped the bathroom queue ahead of my two roomies who had better luck. I hadn't seen my dear friend and her daughter since February 2020 – mere weeks before lockdown, and just before they were moving to Hong Kong, so there was much to catch up on as we sat at the bar for snacks and sips. Sadly, our chinwag was stunted by a young staffer variously piddling about with glassware and boxes of ice cubes while we were clearly itching to order. Twice. Food is served at Ember Locke but we hot-footed it to the Irani-Indian stunner Dishoom one evening, and ordered a Deliveroo (Baba Ghanouj restaurant) to the property on night two, as the little one was desperate to watch A Very Important Football Match while stuffing our faces in the privacy of our own 'home'. Conclusion Despite a few niggles, I'd definitely stay at Ember Locke again. Firstly, you've the whole of London on your doorstep, with Earl's Court Tube station 10 minutes' away on foot. We walked to the National History Museum in 20 minutes and took the Tube to Kew Gardens in Wimbledon, around 30 minutes' west. Secondly, the eclectic decor is a real sight for drab eyes. Also, my suite was quiet, and its eaves aspect both quirky and familiar, rather like a theatre or film set. So, it really wasn't too far off from making my hotlist. Ember Locke, Kensington, London. Rooms from £220.
